First backpack courtesy of Dieselpunk designs.

Made this for my mother.  I hope she will beat it up and really test it’s durability.  She had been stealing my stepdads backpack for rockhounding outings so I made this for her for Christmas.

Haha, yeah I guess formatting on the forum vs the orientation of the photos when I took them didn’t translate well.

I think the bag is outstanding and a good job.   I have mad a few packs and my Bud also makes packs I would  like to give you a couple of ideas for your next pack.

again nothing wrong with your back pac. I like it!!

I have found that the flap top of your bag type will tend to leak in the morning when the dew melts and the contents get wet 

my Bud Gary cam up with a solution that allows the content to stay dry but adds space to the sq footage of the pack itself 

instead of the flap, make the tubular or square sharp of the pack longer then you  use a draw string to close and roll the top

of the bag closed

then use 2 straps one on each side of the roll to secure roll top closed

the loose ends of the straps bug me, so below the buckle make a pouch to slide the excess into 

This is not my bag, Gary made this it is a roll top as mentioned with double straps and end strap pouches
